Compared with the high-tech blockade and sanctions imposed by the United States on China, the more terrifying thing is that most of the chip experts in the United States are Chinese.
So what's going on here? Why don't these Chinese return to China to serve?
Let's find out!
1. The Chinese head of Nvidia and AMD
The semiconductor industry is one of the most important fields in the United States, because the hottest artificial intelligence and the hardware foundation of large models all come from this industry.
The most powerful semiconductor company in the United States is none other than NVIDIA, followed by AMD.
These two American companies were originally born as graphics cards, but in fact, graphics cards are also a kind of computing power cards.
As early as many years ago, graphics cards have been used in the field of computing power, such as "mining", the birth of Bitcoin, which is "mined" by graphics cards through computing power!
From this point, it can be seen that the United States is very strong in the field of chips, and there is also a very interesting information in it, that is, many experts in the United States are Chinese.
Two of the most noteworthy are Jensen Huang and Lisa Su.
The two of them belong to Nvidia and AMD respectively, as the bigwigs of the two companies, Huang Jenxun and Su Lifeng have many things in common, such as they are both good at technology, in other words, both of them are experts in the field of chips, and the other thing is that Huang Jenxun and Su Lifeng are both Chinese, and they have the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
Although Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are both heads of the company, there is still an essential difference between the two.
Because the former is a start-up and the latter is a part-time job, Huang founded Nvidia in 1993, and although he doesn't hold a lot of company stock now, it is undeniable that Huang is still the boss of Nvidia.
Now that the market value of Nvidia's stock has exceeded $3 trillion, Huang is on his way to becoming the richest man in the world.
Lisa Su joined AMD in 2012 and has been able to compete with both Nvidia and Intel in a decade of work that has enabled AMD to compete with both Nvidia and Intel, and has made great strides in terms of turnover and profits.
Therefore, Lisa Su is not only the CEO of AMD, but also the president of AMD, and the chairman of AMD.
Two top companies, two Chinese leaders, see this, can we give a conclusion, can we say that Chinese are more suitable for research chips than Europeans and Americans?
There are many similarities between the upbringing of two entrepreneurs, Jensen Huang and Lisa Su, both of whom are Taiwanese and both come from wealthy, middle-class intellectual families.
In Taiwan Province of China, the way wealthy families raise their children is generally to send them to the United States to study, and Huang Jenxun and Su Lifeng have good living conditions and smart minds, so when they come to the United States, they quickly integrate into it.
From this point of view, there are many inevitabilities to the success of Huang Jenxun and Su Lifeng, these two people are typical representatives of many Chinese Americans, in fact, there are many Chinese Americans like Huang Jenxun and Su Lifeng in the United States, these people are very successful, but they are not as successful as Huang Jenxun and Su Lifeng.
In the United States, Chinese engineers are very popular, on the one hand, this is related to the Chinese character, they are smart, hard-working, and on the other hand, it is also related to the good scientific research environment in the United States.
The reason why the United States is strong is because they pay attention to talent, and after World War II, the United States brought almost all the world's top scientists to the United States.
In this way, top laboratories have sprung up one after another, and the scientific research results of these laboratories have become the cornerstone of the United States' strength, allowing the United States to sit firmly in the position of "world first" for more than half a century.
The semiconductor industry in the United States originated from a laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is the famous "Fairchild Semiconductor", and it is precisely because of the birth of this laboratory that there are later NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, these internationally influential semiconductor companies.
In the beginning, the semiconductor industry in the United States was not open to the private sector, and the initial prototype of these enterprises was a military scientific research platform, and they did technology research and development work for military weapons.
Later, as the U.S. military became stronger and stronger, the scale of these semiconductor companies also continued to expand.
In the end, semiconductor companies began to penetrate into the field of personal consumption, and in this way, Nvidia took off, AMD took off, Huang Jenxun, and Su Lifeng succeeded.
Now it seems that Huang Jenxun is obviously more skilled, after all, Nvidia's market value is higher, and the computing power card launched by this company has become an important boost for the development of artificial intelligence in the future!
Let's go back to another question, since there are many Chinese experts in the American semiconductor industry, why don't they repay the rewards? In addition to Huang Jenxun, Su Lifeng, a Chinese scientist from Taiwan, China, and many experts in the American chip industry, all from Chinese mainland, why don't they come back to serve?
2. Chinese chip experts in the United States returned to China to serve in China
The reason why there is a gap of at least 20 years between China and the United States and the West in the semiconductor industry is that there is a serious shortage of chip experts in the mainland, taking integrated circuits as an example, the talent gap in the mainland has reached 400,000, but in Silicon Valley in the United States, there are 200,000 Chinese engineers.
These people choose to stay in the United States, either because of higher salaries, or because in their hearts, they still feel that "the United States is stronger than China."
However, in recent years, as China's development has become better and better, the motherland has become stronger, and many Chinese chip experts with a "patriotic heart" have returned to China.
Judging from the data, in the past three years, nearly 4,000 Chinese chip talents have returned to China, and their return has also injected new vitality into the development of China's chip industry.
In fact, from many high-tech industries in the United States, professionals are Chinese, it can be seen that Chinese have a strong talent in high-tech research and development.
In the past, our country lacked talents, so the development of many fields was slow, but now with the return of more and more Chinese experts, we will also usher in take-off in the field of high-tech and achieve "corner overtaking" in more and more fields.
